***Bournemouth v Champions FA Cup Official Match Thread***

[Indianablue]

An Fa cup final and top 4 finish will still be a disappointing season for me. A cup final win makes it better but still disappointing. I'm not a glory hunter, the big thing this season is that a few bubbles have been burst

If we get CL qualification and win the FA Cup we'll have had a more successful season than everyone bar the dippers.
It's only the bar we've set that makes us pissed off with it.

Its true we have set a high bar and we still may achieve more than most, but our drop off has been steeper and quicker than anyone could have predicted. Liverpool fell away, Utd, Chelsea, all great teams dip, but ours was swifter and our play was abysmal

Liverpool’s would have been a lot worse had they not had help every week off the refs. That season they were struggling for top four - those games towards the end of the season were a joke. Penalties for falling over.

And because of that it will hopefully be much shorter.

Trouble is that Pep thought the four in a row team had another season in them. Clearly he was wrong.

I agree, fine margins. However they were food second half.
